# Dude Come On Dude Come On is a rage comic face used to show a flat, exasperated reaction to something dumb or frustrating. The character first appeared on Reddit's r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu (f7u12) subreddit in July 2010 and became a fixture of the early 2010s rage comic era. ## Overview Dude Come On is one of the many rage comic faces that circulated on Reddit at the peak of the rage comic era. The face carries a slack, half-lidded expression meant to read as tired disbelief, the look you give when someone says something so pointless you can barely muster a response[1]. Commenters on the original thread started calling the character "dude come on" and the name stuck[2]. Unlike the shouty FFFFFUUUU face or the smug Trollface, this one is a low-energy reaction. It works as the last panel of a comic where the narrator has just been asked or told something painfully obvious, and the punchline is simply the face itself[3]. That deadpan role is why it caught on inside the f7u12 template ecosystem, where creators mixed and matched stock faces to script four-panel gags. ## How It Spread The day after the first comic went up, Redditor stresscheese used the face in a new rage comic titled "Good night man," which helped confirm it as part of the reusable f7u12 face library[4]. From there it appeared in dozens of user-submitted comics through the summer and fall of 2010, usually as a closing reaction panel[3]. As rage comic builder tools and image packs spread off Reddit onto sites like 4chan, Tumblr, and dedicated rage comic generators, the Dude Come On face traveled with them[3]. It also picked up a small life outside comics as a standalone reaction image, dropped into forum replies when someone wanted to signal weary disbelief without typing anything[2]. Interest in rage comics as a format cooled by the mid 2010s, and Dude Come On faded along with the rest of the set. It is still recognizable to anyone who used Reddit during the f7u12 boom, and the phrase "come on, dude" has an unrelated slang life documented on sites like Urban Dictionary[5]. ## How to Use Typical use is as the final panel of a short rage comic where a narrator hears something absurd, obvious, or willfully dense from another character. The joke lands on the face itself rather than a caption. People also paste the standalone image into chat or forum threads as a shorthand for "really?" or "come on." ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Dude Come On?
